At this retreat, held at the President's Doral golf resort, lawmakers will be strategizing on government spending and a comprehensive conservative policy overhaul. The timing of this invitation underscores President Trump's stated intention for a highly active first 100 days. With Republicans holding narrow majorities in both the House and Senate, achieving the President's legislative goals will require significant party unity.
